Development

Libraries

• iron, web framework
• maud, compile-time template engine

Using rust nightly

Maud needs rust nightly for the moment.

rustup run nightly cargo test

rustup run nightly cargo run

Deployment

Heroku

Deployment to heroku was configured with:

heroku create zeugnis --region eu --buildpack https://github.com/emk/heroku-buildpack-rust.git
git push heroku master

Docker

Resources:

• Docker & Rust: Statically Linking Binaries for Secure Execution in Untrusted Containers
• Docker environment for building musl based static rust binaries

Build a statically linked binary

On linux:

rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release

Other (mac):

docker run -v $PWD:/volume -w /volume -t clux/muslrust cargo build --release

Executable: ./target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/zeugnis

Create the docker container

docker build -t zeugnis .

Test the docker container

docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm -t zeugnis --name zeugnis

docker ps -s

The application is accessible on localhost:8080 or with docker-machine:

m=`docker-machine active`

url=http://$ip:8080
echo $url
curl $url
